LOBSTER: A tool to extract chemical bonding from plane‐wave based DFT
نویسندگان
چکیده
The computer program LOBSTER (Local Orbital Basis Suite Towards Electronic-Structure Reconstruction) enables chemical-bonding analysis based on periodic plane-wave (PAW) density-functional theory (DFT) output and is applicable to a wide range of first-principles simulations in solid-state and materials chemistry. LOBSTER incorporates analytic projection routines described previously in this very journal [J. Comput. Chem. 2013, 34, 2557] and offers improved functionality. It calculates, among others, atom-projected densities of states (pDOS), projected crystal orbital Hamilton population (pCOHP) curves, and the recently introduced bond-weighted distribution function (BWDF). The software is offered free-of-charge for non-commercial research. © 2016 The Authors. Journal of Computational Chemistry Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

DFT plane wave calculations of the atomic and electronic structure of LaMnO3 (001) surface.
We present the results of ab initio DFT plane wave periodic structure calculations of the LaMnO3 (001) surface. The effects related to three different kinds of pseudopotentials, the slab thickness, magnetic ordering, and surface relaxation are studied and discussed. The antiferromagnetic surface lowest in energy (that is, the spins on Mn ions are parallel in basal plane and antiparallel from pl...
متن کاملCrystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) analysis as projected from plane-wave basis sets.
Simple, yet predictive bonding models are essential achievements of chemistry. In the solid state, in particular, they often appear in the form of visual bonding indicators. Because the latter require the crystal orbitals to be constructed from local basis sets, the application of the most popular density-functional theory codes (namely, those based on plane waves and pseudopotentials) appears ...

The optimized structures of studied compounds 23-28 are non planner with the two phenyl at C3 and C9 are out of the molecular plane of thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine as indicated from a dihedral angles of 710 and 1160 respectively, using DFT-B3LYP method with 6-311G(d,p) as basis set. The natural bonding orbital (NBO) analysis of the parent molecule 23 have been analyzed in terms of the hybridization ...
متن کاملQuantum rules for planar boron nanoclusters.
This article presents the use of free particle models to obtain quantum rules for planar boron clusters, with nuclearities in the range from seven to twenty. The information obtained from the models is being compared with electronic structure calculations based on the DFT method. Separate rules for in-plane and out-of-plane bonding are derived. In-plane bonding is precise on the cluster boundar...
متن کاملCalculations of Mössbauer parameters in solids by DFT bandstructure calculations
A short introduction to periodic bandstructure methods suitable for the calculation of Mössbauer parameters is presented. These methods are based on density functional theory (because we want to treat big and complicated systems) and must be accurate not only in the bonding region (like pseudopotential approaches), but also near the atomic nuclei since Mössbauer parameters depend crucially on t...
